	We have two 80386-based machines with 24 MB (Soon to be 40) and
	12 MB (Soon to be 24) that we use all the time... No, you don't
	really need this much memory unless you're running Unix with/or
	lots of emacs ;(... However, we use these little boxes as 
	Xterminal Servers and they need all the memory we can give 'em.
